Hi Jesse, Thank you for the links, the last time I asked to look at those I was told the whole mailing list was private and not open to the public, I think opening this up is a huge step forward towards transparency.
I appreciate also your clarification about Gerard, I would have appreciated him making that clear in the discussions that happened.
